“I hate working days….” Christian frowned in sadness, “I prefer holidays…. I never felt like this… Even when I was at school, being an adult and craving for holidays really hit me differently than I expected!” Kicking the floor, he took few more steps ahead, “It's all because of him, Mr. Adrian, I thought of sleeping and chilling down on my bed for a whole day yesterday…. But for half a day I was stuck in a police station, another half a day gone grocery shopping, by night I slept off, next morning here I go…. Standing in the company, am I really supposed to suffer like this?” He has so many complaints about life, sometimes he feels like he is missing so many important things and drowning himself in company work, but he can't do anything as the things out of rush never end up with good results.Despite wanting to solely concentrate on finding his mother, Christian had to stop himself, since he has his own plans, doing it openly or giving his entire concentration to one thing always

“Madam… This is the truth you’ve been looking for.”The assistant’s voice was steady, but there was an unmistakable weight behind the words as she stepped forward and placed a thick sealed file and a small black pendrive carefully on Aurora’s desk.Aurora did not touch them immediately, she simply stared at them without a word for a few seconds.For the past few weeks, she had been searching, digging through layers of silence, obstruction, and deliberate misdirection, following fragments that never formed a complete picture, chasing something she could feel but could never see.And now it was here…. Within reach.At first everything started with her just concentrating on company related matters, but before she could realise, things went further and dragged her into something she never expected to find out, and as a result of that, these things were brought by her assistant after continuous looking into many facts and truths.Finally her fingers moved slowly, almost cautiously, as if t

“Chris, are you leaving early today?” Andrew raised an eyebrow, to which Christian lazily shook his head, “no, I'm going to stay longer today till night in the company…. Let's finish off all the leftover work.” Andrew almost screamed in excitement as Christian is going to stay and if Christian were to stay, the workload will be reduced and all the work will be done in no time.Luna rolled her eyes at Andrew’s excitement, “See this guy, always know how to use someone….”“Someone?” Andrew crossed his arms with a smirk, “he is my brother, how can you insult our brotherhood by calling him as someone?” Kira laughed at Andrew's words, “Brotherhood? Dude, you're like an uncle to him in terms of age, so just by calling him brother will not make you young.” “Exactly,” Tanya gave a hifi to Kira, “rather than brotherhood, unclehood might suit better according to me….” Everyone burst into laughter, Andrew sniffed in mock sadness, “you all know how to bully me, none loves me here!” “Did any o

"I'm so happy," Rosaline said, forcing a smile that felt like poison on her lips, "that I managed to get rid of you."Christian stood still for a moment after hearing those words, and strangely, he did not look shocked anymore because something inside him had already broken beyond the point of reacting.A faint smile appeared on his face, but it was not the kind that carried warmth or love, it was empty and distant as if it belonged to someone else entirely."Thanks for everything," he said quietly, his voice calm in a way that frightened even her, "and take care of yourself.""For these days… That you were my husband," Rosaline said, her voice trembling despite her effort to keep it steady, "I am willing to pay you compensation."The words did not sound like they belonged in the same room as them, they sounded like something from a business deal, cold, calculated and cruel.It was as if she forgot everything they had shared once, the love, the care, almost everything rewinded once be

"My Lord," Lysandre said gently, "that's something you need to talk with him, he opens up his heart only to you." Adrian hummed as he knew Lysandre isn't wrong, Christian doesn't really share anything with outsiders, apart from him.With that, Lysandre left from there and Adrian decided to talk with Christian, in next few minutes he stood in front of Christian's room."Chris, open the door for me." Adrian’s voice carried through the wooden door with a controlled calmness that barely concealed the unease sitting heavily inside his chest.Because even though Lysandre had only told him a few scattered details about finding Christian standing alone in the rain outside a hotel, the state in which he had seen him just moments ago had been enough to make Adrian realize that something terrible had happened.Inside the room, Christian sat on the floor beside the bed without moving.His clothes were still soaked from the rain, h
